Oh.. and Steve's musing about winners & losers is really the crux of the argument in Pascal's Wager, where he decides that believing is really a pragmatic bet... can't hurt to go along- it all 'might' be true.

Well not really. In my context, pragmatic is a bit of a dirty word. I don't do insurance. What I've come up with for the way I live my life, inside and outside my head, is my best shot. End of. No gnawing away, worried in case I should do a back-up 'cause, well, let's face it, it can't hurt... Paradoxically, or maybe not (you tell me), I think we atheists trust in God more than any believer does. As long as I'm a good bloke (which will never be defined by any religious notions of morality), God will ultimately look after me, I reckon. Cor, that might annoy a good few believers as we queue up at the pearly gates...
